Savremene percepcije kulturnog naslijeda Austro-Ugarske u Bosni i Hercegovini.Contemporary perception of the Austro-Hungarian cultural heritage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Proceedings of the Symposium from 22nd November 2014 in Sarajevo.Vjekoslava Sanković Simčić(ed.), Icomos National Committee in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2016, 244p. .illus. electronic version.

During the 40 years of being a part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, first as an occupied country under the formal sovereignity of the Turkish sultan in 1878, and after the Annexation in 1908, as a part of the Monarchy, Bosnia and Herzegovina experienced a phase of deep inner transformation. The Austro-Hungarian occupation introduced new forms of architecture and town-planning into the Oriental physionomy of the Bosnia and Herzegovina towns, creating picturesque contrasts and unexpected relations in that interesting meeting of the two worlds.

"Highlights included a Keynote speech by Professor John Dixon Hunt, University of Pennsylvania and an evening reception at the National Trust's Prior Park, a Brown designed garden with its iconic Palladian bridge overlooking the World Heritage City of Bath. There was a Civic Reception at the magnificent Bath Assembly Rooms where the speakers and delegates were welcomed to the City of Bath by the Chairman of BANES Council, Councillor Alan Hale and addressed by Dame Helen Ghosh, Director General of the National Trust who spoke about the conservation of Capability Brown landscapes in their care."Purchase from ICOMOS UK

This 2015 bilingual version was prepared and designed by ICOMOS China with facilitation and editing of the English translation by the GCI. As was the intention in the original version of the Principles, the translation was considered important to provide English-speaking professionals who work in China and the international preservation community with access to the China Principles. In the revised version each of the forty-five Principles is followed by associated Commentary that explains and amplifies it. The Glossary has been retained and updated or corrected as needed.

The compilation Common heritage... comprises the presentations held at the international seminar held in 2014 on issues of heritage and features the road map for the preservation of Vyborg's built heritage that was written as a conclusion for the seminar.

"Water & Heritage … tells the story of water heritage in all its diversity. It reveals the technical ingenuity that water heritage has always inspired, and it presents the challenges that this heritage faces, along with possible solutions. Reflecting the depth of cooperation between UNESCO and ICOMOS, this book was launched … as a showcase of cooperation to increase dialogue on water heritage." – Irina Bokova (Director-General of UNESCO)

Through regular sections: History, theory, philosophy of conservation; Conservation practice; Interview; International Documents and Reviews, this issue includes large number of interesting articles and continues with the tradition of publishing the papers of domestic and foreign authors whose contribution is in line with the concept of a magazine that advocates for the improvement of discipline, increasing of knowledge and ethically based conservation practice.

https://www.icomos.org/en/9-uncategorised/559-raymond-lemaire-e-news-englishCreated in 1999, the Raymond Lemaire Fund aims at raising funds for the training of young heritage professionals. Professor Raymond Lemaire, one of the founders of ICOMOS, attached the greatest importance to training young professionals and welcoming them into the ICOMOS family.

Since 1981, at every General Assembly, ICOMOS has awarded the Piero Gazzola Prize to a person or group of persons who has worked with distinction towards the objectives of ICOMOS. In 1999, the General Assembly in Mexico passed Resolution 29, which envisaged complementing this Prize by the creation of an International Fund named after Raymond Lemaire designed to raise funds for training young heritage professionals.

Endorsed in March 2008 by the Executive Committee, the Fund was launched during the Forum for young professionals held at the 16th General Assembly that year, among other with the generous support of the children of Raymond Lemaire.

The objective is to offer bursaries and to establish cooperation arrangements with training organisations, to enable young heritage professionals throughout the whole world to take part in post-graduate courses or traineeships in conservation and restoration. The Fund currently holds around 9300 Euros, kindly donated by individual ICOMOS members, ICOMOS Belgium, and ICOMOS experts who contributed their WMF Watch List review fees. Criteria for attributing scholarships are being developed by the Executive Committee. A first report on the use of the Fund will be made to the 18th General Assembly, where a first bursary will be awarded.

Help us to ensure that the new generation of ICOMOS members has access to the highest qualifications!
